rm <br />CMP Part 3B. Land Use Plan 4A- `-' <br />PC Exhibit F <br />properties are not continuous, with residential properties scattered among the <br />making for a somewhat fragmented business district that is spread out over a le <br />in length from end to end. Along these two corridors the second of <br />development is typically residential; hence the business uses in many c s are in <br />close proximity to individual homes. <br />Past City planning efforts for the Navarre area have identifie a number of <br />challenges to be addressed as Navarre redevelops in the years to ome: <br />1) High traffic volumes and the existing traffic m ement infrastructure <br />result in poor pedestrian accessibility. Pedestri have limited options <br />for crossing CR 15 or CR 19. The Park and de facility location and <br />inflexibility of bus routes (partially due to th ovation and configuration <br />of the P&R lot) requires that bus patrons cro CR 15 on at least one leg of <br />their commute. <br />2) Parking availability is a limiting facr expansion or redevelopment of <br />existing businesses. <br />3) Beautification efforts/arehined by road width and right-of-way <br />constraints as well as ftraints. <br />4) Aging buildings are rielopment yet provide low rental rates <br />that allow local busineve and thrive, reducing the incentive to <br />redevelop. <br />5) There/ilhity <br />are tectural cohesiveness among the existing buildings. <br />Navahasn't ided whether it wants to be urban (buildings against the <br />streetthe rear) or suburban (buildings set back, parking at the <br />front)er. <br />6) Compcertain business uses with the closely adjacent residential <br />neighn become an issue. <br />7) E anion of pedestrian connectivity to adjoining neighborhoods and to <br />akota Rail Trail. <br />8) / Introduction of higher density mixed use (residential and commercial) <br />development to select sites identified in the Land Use Plan. <br />ORONO/LONG LAKE COMMERCIAL AREA. An additional commercial area <br />is designated along Old Highway 12 (Wayzata Boulevard) where the availability <br />of transportation and utilities as well as proximity to similar commercial <br />developments in Orono and Long Lake, make commercial use appropriate. <br />City of Orono Community Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3B-38 <br />
